Thanks folks for all these kind comments !
Rick, I grow two violascecs from different vendors (one of them was offered to me as a guaranteed papuanum) and the foliage is quite identical - dark and light green mottled. I think I can post a photo here in the next few days.
...Can you include a picture of the foliage for violascians?

Dot, Seramis® is a clay granulate produced in Germany. It is used to replace soil in the pots of indoor plants. If you are interested here is a link in English Seramis®I'm intriqued by your mix. You said it is Seramis and broken LECA clay balls, but what is Seramis, please?
I use pots made for hydroponics and the hole (it isn't a pipe) is there to fix in a water level indicator.Why are there pipes in the pots?

You can buy it here in Germany perhaps in Europe in every garden centre or 'Home Depot'. Obviously it is very restrictively available in the US as you can see here Seramis® in North-America.

Thank you for all this info! Are you saying you grow in semihydropinics? Do you flush and drain, flush and drain? Or do you just water like a regular mix?Thanks folks for all these kind comments !

The spike was a slow grower - but slow is relative. Compared with malipoense or jackii it's been a fast grower!
No Istvan, these plant flowered in my collection for the second time, first time in 2011. This is the mislabled plant. Different German vendors/nurseries offer violascens.
As I told here already before I'm an indoor grower, I don't have a greenhouse and all of my Paphs have to live with us in our house.
Due to that fact I can't do much special to my plants. The pots stand on windowsills or most of them just on the room floor in front of room-high windows. O.K., the temperature differs slightly between one room and the other. Only micranthum, armeniacum, insigne, venustum and few more are now in a room with cooler conditions.
I water once a week and I don't spray usually.
I experimented with inorganic potting mixes and now I use one mix for all of my Paphs - Seramis and broken LECA clay balls. I mix them by emotion maybe 60/40 or 50/50. Due to the inorganic medium I don't repot (I'm a lazy bone). Some of my Paphs have grown in this mix since five years now.
